 Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2006 1:40 pm Post subject: Another Maple 10 thread [SOLVED] |
 |
|
To start off I have to say this forum is now my best friend after getting the sound on my new Asus M2NPV-VM working. Now I need some tips installing Maple. Its gotta be Maple because I go to school at University of Waterloo (where it was made) and they make us use it for everything. Plus it only costs like 20 buck  I'm on an amd64 system, mounted the cdrom and ran the sh script in the top directory. Too bad its crap because it points to a directory that doesn't exist on the CD! So I read the script and found the binary installer, but it produces a java error. Here is is:
| Code: |
Preparing to install...
Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...
Unpacking the JRE...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
Launching installer...
Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException.
This application will now exit. (LAX)

I read that someone had needed to log into X as root so I tried that, but same error. Anyone got any ideas/know where to point me?

damb! 20bucks!!! I love Maple, I am stuck with Maple5.2 since that was what I was able to get from my Uni at the time (well what was offered it was upto V8 at the time)
I did install Maple9.5 at work on a linux machine and I remember it was a pig I had to copy the installation script off to a folder and then edit it to point to where the data was, seems Maple still havn't fixed their install scripts

lol figures... im in science.
Anyways, I've gotten a little further. Turns out you can specify the JRE to use by doing
| Code: | | ./LinuxInstaller.bin LAX_VM /path/to/java |
This gets me to the "installing Maple" screen, but then I get the same errors as this guy:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-429755-highlight-maple.html
With the null pointer exceptions, etc.
Also off topic, I'm using blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03 and I just tried to run java --version and got
| Code: |
Unrecognized option: --version
Could not create the Java virual machine
|
Is that normal?
EDIT: I'm a knob. Put 2 dashes instead of 1

Hello again. I've made more headway. I found out that you can skip the GUI install by appending -i console to the end of the command. Everything works, except the files aren't actually created. Just the directories. Any idea why this might be? Also, perhaps its something to do with the fact that the Student Edition isn't supported on 64 bit linux?
| Code: |
./LinuxInstall.bin -i console

LOL I solved it. Turns out you can't copy the binary installer from the CD. Run it from the CD using the -i console option ONLY ON 32 BIT GENTOO!!!!! Seeing as I'm on 64 bit, I'm going to have to find a 64 bit version disk...

| So you never got it to work on amd64? I managed to get the console version to run but for some reason xmaple won't work. It doesn't even spit out an error it just finishes executing and does nothing. |

Mine says something about not being able to find some file. Its because they use uname in their folder naming scheme, so If you aren't running 32bit you end up getting bad folder names so the app won't work. That's why the cd installer doesn't work, its expecting the reply 'Linux' but it gets some message about 64 bit. I guess it would be possible to fool it somehow, but then how could you be guaranteed it would actually work. I'm waiting for a reply from maplesoft about getting a 64 bit student edition. I'll tell you if I get any luck.

Alright. Ya I modified the install script so it didn't bother checking the arch and just did the 32bit x86 install. I managed to get it installed and with some more tweaking got the console version to load properly, but can't seem to get the X version to start. |

Just go to the maplesoft site, and go to contact customer support. I asked them for 64-bit version and they gave me a download link. I can't get it now because I'm on dial up, but I'm gonna get someone with high speed to burn it for me.

Thank you for contacting Maplesoft.
Please find below your new Maple 10 download URL for a 64-bit Linux. It is recommended that you create a back up copy of the Maple 10 installer. Once you have done this please burn it to CD for future installations.

Hey Zepp still can't get xmaple to work? I've been looking around, turns out you need libXp installed, which requires modular X. That's going to be fun tonight.
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=458021
plus its still masked for amd64, so even more fun

This is incase anyone else is looking and wants to install maple.
First off, contact maplesoft customer service to get a download of the 64 bit maple installer
make sure you have a jre installed, I used blackdown
| Code: |
emerge blackdown-jre
|
now run the executable installer with the LAX_VM option:
| Code: |
./LinuxX86_64Installer.bin LAX_VM /path/to/java
|
This is because the jre packaged with maple is broken. Now xmaple will fail to run, for me it just had no output at all. To fixed this, I replaced the jre's bin and lib folders with symlinks to my own.
| Code: |
cd /<path to maple>/jre.X86_64_LINUX/
rm -r -R -f ./bin
rm -r -R -f ./lib
ln -s /path/to/java/folder/bin ./bin
ln -s /path/to/java/folder/lib ./lib
|
now try running xmaple!

Excellent Maplesoft e-mail me back! I thought they hadn't but I forgot I had a filter in my e-mail to make anything from maple skip the inbox for some reason haha, think it was the letters they were sending to my school account that were bugging me.
Hooray it worked  . |
